| Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift |
| Gulliver's Travels (1726, amended 1735) is both a satire on human nature and a parody of the "travellers' tales" literary sub-genre. It is his most celebrated work and one of the indisputable classics of the English language. The book became tremendously popular as soon as it was published (Alexander Pope stated that "it is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery") and it is likely that it has never been out of print since then. George Orwell declared it to be among the six most indispensable books in world literature, and it is claimed the inspiration for Gulliver came from the sleeping giant profile of the Cavehill in Belfast.— Excerpted from Gulliver's Travels on Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. |
